Renewable Energy

CustomWeather is a one-stop data warehouse for companies involved in wind, solar, and hydro-power industries. As the world moves away from its dependence on oil, weather itself will dictate much of the world’s available energy supply. CustomWeather is fast becoming the data source that companies involved in alternative energy turn to for both historical and forecast weather information.

CustomWeather can assist companies setting up wind or solar farms and provide those companies with the historical weather data that they need to plan for optimum placement and anticipated capacity. CustomWeather can further help those companies with on-going operations through its forecast expertise.
